Reform has spent the summer taking lumps out of itself, with the battles leaking into public view, and it's position in the polls slipping to around 25 percent. Just in time for conference season, James Heale is joined by Nick Tyrone, whose new book The Rise of Reform is the product of 18 months trailing the party's candidates and activists, to discuss whether Nigel Farage can get the show back on the road before the May 2027 local elections.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Henry LloydBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

La première partie de notre émission commencera avec une discussion sur le rejet par le Canada des conditions américaines dans les négociations commerciales avec les États-Unis. Le Canada estime que ce qui est en jeu n'est pas seulement le commerce, mais la souveraineté et l'identité culturelle. Dans la continuité de ce premier sujet, nous nous poserons ensuite la question : L'UE peut-elle suivre l'exemple du Canada et prendre ses distances avec Trump ? Notre section scientifique sera consacrée à une étude qui révèle que le nombre d'accidents de la route mortels aux États-Unis augmente de 15 % lors de la sortie d'albums musicaux majeurs. Et nous conclurons la première partie de l'émission par une nouvelle sensationnelle : Nigel Farage a battu haut la main son principal rival aux élections législatives, Count Binface ! Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : The Use of the Present Subjunctive - Ways to Avoid the Subjunctive. Nous parlerons de l'éclipse solaire du 12 août. Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine, Y perdre son latin. Nous parlerons de l'interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans, qui devait entrer en vigueur en France cette année. Or, à la stupéfaction générale, le Conseil constitutionnel a décidé de censurer la loi. - En refusant de céder aux pressions américaines, le Canada reste fidèle à ses traditions - L'UE peut-elle suivre l'exemple du Canada et prendre ses distances avec Trump ? - Le nombre de morts sur les routes américaines augmente de 15 % lors de la sortie d'albums musicaux majeurs - Nigel Farage bat haut la main son principal rival aux élections législatives, Count Binface - L'éclipse du 12 août : un phénomène social - Les réseaux sociaux ne seront finalement pas interdits aux moins de 15 ans
Abriremos la primera parte del programa con el rechazo de Canadá a los términos de EE. UU. durante las negociaciones comerciales entre ambos países. Canadá cree que ya no se trata de comercio. Ahora, se trata de soberanía e identidad cultural. La siguiente conversación estará inspirada en la primera noticia. ¿Puede la UE seguir el ejemplo de Canadá, y abandonar las negociaciones con Trump? La sección de ciencia estará dedicada a un estudio que informa de que las muertes de tráfico en EE. UU. aumentan un 15 % cuando se lanzan grandes álbumes musicales. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa con una noticia sensacionalista: ¡Nigel Farage derrota con facilidad al Conde Carabasura, su principal adversario en unas elecciones especiales al Parlamento! El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Non-personal forms of a verb. Infinitive - Part III. En esta conversación hablaremos de la calvicie. Según un estudio, España es el país del mundo con más hombres calvos. Algunos lo llevan bien, pero otros lo pasan fatal y gastan mucho dinero para volver a tener pelo. ¿Vivimos en una sociedad que tolera poco la diversidad y deberíamos trabajar más la autoaceptación? ¡Lo discutiremos! Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, ¡Aquí se cuecen habas!. Hablaremos de las comunidades de vecinos, una pesadilla para muchos propietarios. Y lo haremos recordando una de las series de televisión española más exitosa y longeva de todos los tiempos: La que se avecina. Esta serie parodia las conflictivas relaciones vecinales de una comunidad mediante un humor negro e irónico. Aunque los personajes de esta serie son estereotipos muy exagerados, todos podemos reconocer algún vecino en ella. La negativa de Canadá a ceder a la presión estadounidense refleja tradiciones muy arraigadas ¿Puede la UE seguir el ejemplo de Canadá, y abandonar las negociaciones con Trump? Las muertes de tráfico suben un 15 % en EE. UU. cuando se lanzan grandes álbumes musicales Nigel Farage derrota con facilidad al Conde Carabasura, su principal adversario en unas elecciones especiales al Parlamento España, el país del mundo con más calvos La serie de televisión española más longeva
Wir beginnen den ersten Teil des Programms mit Kanadas Ablehnung der amerikanischen Bedingungen für das Handelsabkommens mit den USA. Premierminister Carney hat damit nicht nur ein Handelsabkommen abgelehnt. Kanada sieht in der aggressiven Haltung der USA auch eine Bedrohung seiner Souveränität und kulturellen Identität. Unser nächstes Thema knüpft an unsere erste Story an: Kann die EU dem Beispiel Kanadas folgen und Trump die Stirn bieten? In unserem Wissenschaftsthema sprechen wir über eine Studie zu Verkehrstoten in den USA. Sie zeigt, dass deren Zahl an Tagen, an denen neue Alben bekannter Musiker veröffentlicht werden, um 15 % steigt. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer sensationellen Nachricht aus Großbritannien: Nigel Farage hat seinen größten Rivalen, Count Binface, bei den Parlamentswahlen souverän besiegt! Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf False Cognates — Part 2. Wir sprechen über Labskaus, eine gestampfte Masse aus Fleisch und Gemüse. Bei diesem norddeutschen Gericht scheiden sich die Geister. Einige lieben es, andere würden es niemals essen. Seinen Ursprung hat Labskaus in der Seefahrt im 18. Jahrhundert. Vor 65 Jahren begann die DDR mit dem historischen Bau der Berliner Mauer, die West-Berlin hermetisch vom DDR-Umland abriegelte. Mit dem Bau des sogenannten „antifaschistischen Schutzwalls" wollte die DDR die Abwanderung von Millionen von Flüchtlingen nach West-Berlin stoppen. Das DDR-Regime haute buchstäblich auf den Putz und genau das ist auch die Redewendung diese Woche – Auf den Putz hauen. Kanadas Widerstand gegen den Druck der USA hat tiefe historische Wurzeln Kanada bietet Trump die Stirn: Kann die EU diesem Beispiel folgen? 15 % mehr Verkehrstote in den USA nach Release von Alben populärer Musiker Nigel Farage gewinnt gegen Count Binface Labskaus Berliner Mauerbau vor 65 Jahren

In this powerful episode of The Trawl, Jemma Forte and Marina Purkiss unpack the tragic death of Jason Arday. Arday was Cambridge's first black professor, who endured an extraordinary media storm in the final weeks of his life. The Trawl ladies examine the 188 articles published about him in just nine days, the racist and hostile commentary that fuelled the story, and the wider questions it raises about who gets scrutinised, who gets forgiven, and who is allowed to belong in positions of power.They also discuss Nigel Farage's Clacton victory, Count Binface's impressive vote share, Lee Anderson's increasingly surreal defence of Farage, and the UK's first nationwide emergency alert of the summer. Plus: some very British flirting, Tolstoy proving that even literary geniuses sometimes can't be bothered, and the usual underrated internet gems.Join The Trawl's Facebook BRAND NEW Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61590931382660Get your tickets for The Trawl Live from https://thetrawl.tix.to/ticketsThank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf spent last week putting a few noses out of joint, not least by calling the former Conservative defence secretary, Sir Ben Wallace, a traitor, a tweet Nigel Farage took the unusual step of criticising in public and which Yusuf declined to take down. Tim Shipman and James Heale are joined by Tim Montgomerie, founder of Conservative Home and now a Reform UK member, to ask whether Farage has fallen out of love with his home affairs spokesman.In another exclusive for The Spectator, Montgomerie also announces the upcoming launch of 900 Days, the publication he is launching as a new independent online home for Reform UK.Produced by Henry Lloyd and Oscar EdmondsonBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In the one-hundred-and-ninety-ninth episode, we look at the Appeal to Pity fallacy, starting with felling sorry for himself about the IRS, feigning empathy for the families of people killed by immigrants, and pretending he felt sorry for J6ers and their uncomfortable prison cells.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Nigel Farage all claiming they were treated harshly by the 'establishment'.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Chicago, Tangled, Spongebob, and The Amazing World of Gumball.Jim and Mark go head-to-head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes was made up by Jim.Then we talk about Abdul El Sayed winning the Democratic Primary for Michigan Senator.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft199One of our favourite young listeners, Scarlett Garrett (One Eyed Nick's daughter), has signed up to travel to Cambodia in 2028 to do volunteer work helping local communities and has just started her fundraising for her trip.

Michael is moving to Missoula, so this one opens with a resignation and gets worse from there. A man in a garbage can is polling at 20% against Nigel Farage in Clacton, and his platform makes more sense than it should. Term limits, and the unelected career staff who actually run the machine. Early access to Truth Social posts for $60,000 to $100,000 a month. Trading firms have already signed up. A president clearing north of two billion in his first year back in office, and why the silence around it is deafening. A California mayor who pleaded guilty to working as an unregistered agent of China. A former Marine home after four years in a Russian prison. What prison is actually for. Punishment, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and where the line sits. A carrier at sea 250 days straight, what that does to 5,000 people with no end date, and the guy I watched grab a fire extinguisher and jump.

The spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has defended his reference to the UK as an 'Islamic Republic'. In a podcast with Israeli Army Radio, Mr Netanyahu recalled meeting the grandson of Winston Churchill, describing him as a 'lover of Israel' and then adding that you won't find that kind of attitude in the UK now, which he said was known as 'The Islamic Republic of Britain'. The UK and Israel are long-standing allies, but relations have become notably more tense since the war in Gaza.

In yesterday's Clacton-upon-Sea special election, a record-breaking field of 34 candidates lined up on the ballot paper. Among them stood Nigel Farage, leader of the xenaphobic Reform UK, seeking to consolidate his political standing. But standing right alongside him was Count Binface—the self-described bin-clad space politician who may not have won enough votes, but came second to a loser.

Shock horror: Nigel Farage has won the by-election in Calcton. Although you may be shocked by the scale of the victory. The Reform leader received 22,239 votes – 1,000 more than his total at the 2024 general election. His main rival, Count Binface – the ‘uniparty candidate' as Farage says – secured a respectable 9,455 votes, a 26.7 per cent share.Turnout stood at 44.37 per cent, the constituency's lowest since 2010, but still pretty good for a by-election and such an unusual one at that. But the big questions remains: did Farage get what he wanted out of this by-election? Or is this the farcical end to an undignified episode in British politics?

Nigel Farage has won the Clacton byelection he triggered by resigning from the seat because he wanted to allow voters to ‘stick two fingers up at the entire establishment'. The Reform UK leader's political finances were under investigation at the time. That process has now resumed, posing the risk of another byelection if Farage is found to have broken the rules. Has his party emerged stronger or weaker as a result of the byelection? And what next for Reform UK and its leader? Alexandra Topping and Rowena Mason discuss the fallout, and what it means.

Nigel Farage has done the inevitable and defeated Count Binface in the Clacton by-election. To celebrate, Reform threw a gigantic Glastonbury-style festival on Clacton beach. Farage-fest 2026 featured disco, live music and even a Ferris wheel. But during his victory speech, Farage admitted for the first time that he may have made a mistake by failing to declare the £5m gift he received from Christopher Harborne. Now, just hours after his victory, the parliamentary standards watchdog has resumed its investigation into the Reform leader. So, after the Ferris wheel and the fanfare, what next for the embattled Farage?Hosts:Steven Swinford, political editor, The TimesLara Spirit, deputy political editor, The Sunday TimesProducers: Euan Dawtrey, Harry KitsonPicture: Getty imagesThis podcast was brought to you thanks to subscribers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

In today's episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley react to Nigel Farage's victory in the Clacton by-election, where the Reform UK leader increased his majority while skipping the count, prompting a fresh row with Essex Police over security threats and alleged political stunts.Joined by The Telegraph's Political Editor, Tony Diver, they unpack the fallout from a bizarre election night in which novelty candidate Count Binface finished second. They discuss whether Farage's comprehensive win changes anything or merely tees up yet another by-election, as the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner restarts its investigation into his controversial £5m crypto donation.Plus, with rumours of a snap election swirling, is now the best time for Andy Burnham to call the country to the polls, or would it offer no benefit to the Prime Minister?We want to hear from you!

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has beaten wacky candidate Count Binface in a widely mocked British election.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has done is not once, but twice in Clacton-on-Sea winning back his seat in the Commons as an MP. Some say it was an attempt to get out of the Parliamentary scrutiny he was facing about that £5m donation, some say it has strengthened his position as 'anti-establishment'. Talk presenter Ian Collins speaks to Talk reporter Samara Gill, live from Clacton, about the mood of constituents post Reform victory. He also discussed Nigel's win with: Deputy leader of Reform Richard Tice, Former Conservative special advisor Charlie Rowley, MP and chairman of the Conservative Party Kevin Hollinrake, former Conservative minister Edwina Currie, and Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott.

Politicians are increasingly turning on the journalists who scrutinise them. After investigations into Nigel Farage's finances, Reform figures have accused reporters of waging a political ‘war' – while Arron Banks has hired private investigators to look into Times journalist Gabriel Pogrund. Is hostility towards the media becoming a feature of modern politics? And is the relationship between politicians and the press becoming more poisonous?Gabriel joins Oscar Edmondson and Tim Shipman, who writes for the magazine this week about the fraying contract between society and its fourth estate.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Aukakosningar eru í Clacton-kjördæminu á Englandi í dag þar sem kosið er til breska þingsins. Efnt var til kosninganna þar sem Nigel Farage leiðtogi Reform, Umbótaflokksins, sagði af sér þingmennsku.

Hann kemur ætíð fram í búningi með ruslatunnulíki á höfðinu. Count Binface hefur verið nefndur Fötufés, Ruslgrímur, Tunnuhaus og Tunnufés í íslenskum fjölmiðlum.
